First, break up your banana in the cup to make it easier to blend. Lumps are kind of gross so you want to make sure you can blend it correctly.

Next, add your almond milk. Don’t pour it all the way up to the max line on your cup because once you put your other ingredients in, you’ll be over the limit and it’ll overflow in the blender. A sticky situation! Leave some room and when you are done adding things, you can top it off to the max line if you want to.
